5 Best Gaming Deals in SA this Weekend
Check out the best specials on games and consoles.
Whether you’re looking to pick up a decent console deal or hungry for the next game to add to your library, we’ve rounded up some of the best deals on offer from local online and physical retailers:
Xbox Series S console (NexusHub) – R6,299
If you’ve been holding off on pulling the trigger on a current-gen system, NexusHub has a special running on the Xbox Series S console, knocking off a bit on the price-tag to make it quite the tempting deal this month.
Lost Judgment (Loot) – R549 | Xbox Series X
There aren’t many games that can take you from meticulously investigating a crime-scene to a dance competition, but not before indulging in a street brawl with some thugs right after gambling at a curbside casino. Much like its Yakuza step-brother games, Lost Judgment is a smorgasbord of genres and styles, but with an overarching detective-adventure theme that makes it one of the most interesting games in 2021 that should not be overlooked. You can check out our full Lost Judgment review here too.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts (Loot) – R276
Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts pulls back on the ambitious open-world of previous entries to offer a more streamlined sniping experience – and it’s for the better. Enjoyable traversal, challenging environments, and some satisfying shooting make it a worthwhile experience, especially considering the budget price-tag. Check out our Sniper: Ghost Warrior Contracts review here.
Rise of the Tomb Raider (Playstation Store) – 107.80 | PS4
Rise of the Tomb Raider is one of, if not the, best entry in the Tomb Raider series ever. The sequel expands upon 2013’s reboot, and introduces crafting and survival techniques to take the experience to new heights, and the ever-evolving story of a young and ambitious Lara Croft is impossible to not be caught up in. The 20 Year Celebration edition on PS4 also features two previously-unreleased segments, Blood Ties, which takes place in Croft Manor, and Lara’s Nightmare, a zombie mode of sorts, which throws you into an onslaught of creatures as you try and survive. It’s a great game to play before jumping into the third and final game of the trilogy, Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Darksiders: Fury’s Collection – War & Death (Playstation Store) – R107.85 | PS4
Despite the confusing name, this Darksiders bundle doesn’t come with Fury’s story of Darksiders III, which is amazing and worth a play), but what it does come with is Darksiders: Warmastered Edition and Darksiders II, so you get to enjoy two of the best action-adventure games around for a considerable discount.
